1Koyaanisqatsi
Walking barefoot in the cities
Dreaming of nature and what was once alive
Can't think for too long
Must pay attention
For I walk on shattered glass
I gulp at the site of my clumsy feet
Blood mixing with the liquid filth
Escaping the pile of garbage at my side
A gulp of toxic air
Smog mixed with powerful perfumes
Raw sewage escaping the under-city when it rains
Products of mass production
Consumption
And waste
Too vast to avoid
Screams shouts and loud bangs
Street lights flickering and blinding spotlights
People everywhere
No one there
What you see in the day
Armless beggars
Skinny as toothpicks
Lost through a war
Or shattered by a dream
On a constant diet of dope or beatings
Increase in stock values
Decrease of respect
Increase in violence
Decrease of hope
Cops everywhere to keep it all wrapped up
No one out
Everyone's in for life
Like the worst drug in the world
No escaping its dependence
Fear of poverty and fear of failure
Everywhere is the new disease
Death by a car accident
Death by crime
Death by cancer
Smoking drinking dirty sex
Poison foods chlorine infested water
Hormone filled milk and eggs
Unnatural growth
Girls capable of conceiving at 11
Babies being flushed down the drains
Health systems
Law organizations
Education facilities
Manufacturers of problems
Man walking around in a suit and tie
Talking to himself
Staring emotionlessly
No where in particular
A bureaucratic machine
A slave
A worker
Deep issues of psychological health
Too busy to talk about them
Problems that seem normal
Just because everyone is having them
That is the norm
